    Majority Of Republicans Believe The QAnon Conspiracy Theory Is Partly Or Mostly True, Survey Finds

    Some 56% of Republicans believe that QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory, is mostly or partly true, according to a new Daily Kos/Civiqs poll released Wednesday, a remarkably high number considering many of the outlandish assertions espoused by QAnon supporters.

    A Quarter of Republicans Believe Central Views of QAnon Conspiracy Movement
    Americans who most trust far-right news outlets are nearly five times as likely to believe the central views of the conspiracist movement, a study found.

    56% believe QAnon theories are "partly" or "mostly" true? What exact polling by Daily Kos!

    According to US News, 25% of Republicans, 9% of Democrats, and 14% of Independents.... drawing from every quarter!.

    No, you're trash. Cartoons are probably as much as you can comprehend with a name like Jo Mama. You're a loser who I won't be wasting anymore time on (guess I share that with your parents)

    Which Democratic leaders continued to push "Hands up, don't shoot" After the facts were known? Despite that particular incident being inaccurate, it was found that the city did in fact have a pattern of racism from law enforcement towards people of color.

    The Republican President of the United States has not disavowed or spoke out against the Pizzagate folks. He has their banners and welcomes their support.

    Tell me, would you support the Republican party coming out and saying, "Our party stands behind democracy and the counting of votes. There was no attempt to steal the election in 2020. Our party doesn't welcome those that believe our political opponents, as much as we disagree on how to run this nation, are trying to end the United States of America, or pedal in child sex trafficking. If you think those things, you aren't welcome in the Republican party. If you support racism, and white power, you aren't welcome in the Republican party. We are going to return our party to conservative principles of lower taxes, and lower spending."

    Would you support that? The GOP leadership won't. They have booted GOP members from their committee positions for simply taking a stand against Trump. You seem to want to separate the party from Trump, but the party won't separate itself from him and his positions.

    It would be a start if the GOP simply said, "If you hold on to racist and anti-Semitic views, you aren't welcome in our party. We don't want your support."

    But they won't do that. They refuse to do that.

    By the way, I never said it was an only one side argument. I actually stated both sides had their faults. But the faults in these areas aren't equal. I've pointed out the differences.

    Also, " Hands up. Don't Shoot" wasn't a call for violence rather, it was a call for peace and justice.

    This is the question they asked: "Do you believe that the QAnon theory about a conspiracy among deep state elites is true?"
    That is a pretty vague question, and I am not surprised that even 19% of democrats answered that it was mostly true (5%), some parts true (4%), or unsure (10%). I think you would have seen a much lower positive response rate if they had asked something like, "Do you believe Hilary Clinton and other high-ranking democrats ran a child sex-slave ring from the basement of a pizza parlor?" or "Do you believe that John F. Kennedy, Jr. is still alive and will be making a public appearance to reinstate Donald Trump as President of the United States." This is the problem with poll headlines, they don't necessarily mean what they are implying. It is also an example of designing poll questions to achieve the result you want.

    If you want to make a poll that shows strong support for socialism in America, you might ask: "Should workers have more say in their job duties and compensation?" If you want to make a poll that shows weak support for socialism, you might ask: "Should workers forcibly take over small businesses from the owners without compensation?" Both questions are asking if you support socialism, but I suspect they would end up with different results. If you want to make it seem like the electorate, especially Republicans, are total morons completely unhinged from reality, you ask a question that sounds more innocuous, but extrapolate the answer to that question to the craziest things you can come up with.

    Hmm... not once in the post you responded to did I mention January 6th.

    He's courting votes by dining with a holocaust denying anti-semite? Is he courting the anti-Jew vote. Sadly, I think you may be right and he is.

    The point is... the current stories about Trump that are being played up are still current and not dragging up the past. Considering the January 6th commission still exists, their stuff is newsworthy. Considering Trump continues to spread the stolen electon lies, that is newsworthy. The TS documents that be admitted to illegally taking is still newsworthy because HE keeps talking about it. (Plus the investigation continues).

    You didn't have to mention JAN 6th.... it's still all over the "news."

    Every vote counts. Jesus sought out the sinners-- not saying that Trump IS Jesus but maybe we ALL should be more LIKE Jesus.

    I don’t even know where to begin with this. Ughhh…

    You guys have a very distorted view of who Trump is. It’s like you’ve never actually heard the man speak unless it’s through some 700 club filter.

    Trump is the polar opposite of everything Jesus stood for. And do you know what the Bible actually is saying about what an AntiChrist leader is? Not what James Dobson or Benny Hinn say one is but what the actual Bible is telling you?

    When John was describing the AntiChrist (A. he was referring to Nero) he was describing a leader who took power by lying about how he was blessed by Gods powers in order to achieve higher goals through essentially government. He took power through extraordinary means and claimed it was for divine purpose. This is also really what “taking the lords name in vein” means. Lying about Gods purpose to serve yourself. Not saying GD.

    Not saying Trump is the AntiChrist but when he stands at the podium and says “I am the chosen one” and when he’s asked about QAnon by the press and talks about how it’s a good thing that he’s prophesied by a higher power to do X,Y, and Z… these are classic AntiChrist behaviors that the Bible specially warns is about.


    And here you are using Jesus breaking bread with prostitutes as an excuse to Trump breaking bread with literal Nazis. Jesus was there to help and love others and had no intention on using his perceived higher calling to rule the most powerful nation in the world. Trump is not there to help and love others… he’s there to help and love himself and yes… ultimately take power to rule over this nation to serve himself.

    So with all due respect…this is a very blasphemous use of Jesus.

    Are you kidding me?

    Do you believe Trump is trying to change the sinners when he dines with them?

    Can you point out one time when Trump tried to help sinners?

    Of course it's on the news. There is a congressional committee investigating it.

    And, the Jesus comment??? It's one of the more asinine things I've ever seen posted on this site and that's saying a lot.

    The implication is that Trump is being like Jesus because he is sitting down to dinner with a sinner. If I'm reading that wrong then what the heck are you talking about?

    It debases everything that Jesus stood for and what the Bible is trying to show as an example
    while warning against those who are Jesus’ opposite.

    The New Testament’s first half is essentially modeling this example and the second half is big huge warning against people exactly like Trump… or Trump with actual power.

    Jesus is there to serve others. Trump is there to serve himself. Giddy even admits it himself that he’s not really there to do anything but court votes.. aka take power.

    Using Jesus is a great example of how QAnon and the evangelical right wing church have completely distorted the basic fundamentals of Christianity. They are using the Bible to do exactly what the Bible is warning against.

    I used it to deflect criticism of whom Trump dines with. Again I didn't say he was Christ-like; I said he and we should be more like Christ. Look how much judgment you pass in these indictments...

    Well, everyone is a sinner. Here's a link to a list of awards won by Trump:
